# NICE!!! I done that myself, with the decals KJtoys Has them on his ebay page and ships to the uk, i purchased from kytoys and it took only 2weeks to arrive, and ilive in the uk!!! hope that helps Thanks! I would also like to do the torso swap with Legends Bulldog but I'm going to wait until I've had a bit of practice with splitting Mattel torsos as I've not done any yet and I want the end product to be as "clean" as possible. Thanks also for the info regarding the decals When you do that torso swap, give HHH smaller shoulders. I did it, and those shoulders are too big for Bulldog's torso. That's why even Bulldog's figures don't move well.

nothin tricky about it, no offense, i soaked a figure in water i nuked for 4 minutes in the mic this weekend, i soaked him for about 5-6 minutes and it pulled apart like cinnabuns
the hot water just melted the glue, its easy, just soak the fig long enough in hot enough water and its a cake walk

Considering this is a Mattel fix up thread, decided to post my customized ring, which used mattel parts... Without further adieu First custom accessory made for the tournament, under Misc, my custom ring, made with an 18" x 18" piece of wood, 16 icy pole sticks, support beams for the sides, black and white fabric, and 4 quarters of a mattel spring ring. Pretty creative if you ask me ;D

I know this isn't a big deal but I did a quick dry brushing and made this look a lot better IMO. The grey rubber just didn't look right

Ok guys, I am after some help I want to do a fix up of HHH from around his 1997-1998 look with the long pants.
I was thinking the best torso would be the austin torso? but not sure about the legs, also if there a figure with the austin torso and long tights?
Any help is appreciated.

L3 Brian Pillman legs would work.

IronLion, that is a great idea! It really makes HHH's garb that much cooler. I might "steal" the idea!

Yes! Yes! Words cannot explain how happy I am right now. After a month of searching for it, I finally found him! My life is complete ! Glossed up his boots I finally finished this one, molded goatee, pads, wrist band, and swapped arms for ripped ones Elite 2 Orton with painted beard & shoulder tat- it looks a bit light here but in person it looks fine The RSC fixup is amazing! What did you gloss the boots with and how did you do the kneepads?

I wanted an elite Samoa Joe so i decided to try and make one. I took the basic idea from my buddy Attitude_Era and just made a few slight changes that i thought might add more detail to how he looks. I'm pleased with the result so thought I'd share with you guys on here.

What is dry brushing? I love the look of that Mania HHH's chains now! Would anything else achieve the same look?
